Heinkel He-111H-6 Motorhead “Bomber” Special
Very Limited Edition Release
Motörhead, the iconic heavy-metal band’s striking album artwork for their 1979 ‘Bomber’ was carefully created by illustrator. Lemmy, “Fast” Eddie Clark and Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor are shown inside the cockpit of a Heinkel in the Blitz. Lemmy, himself was a collector of WWII memorabilia, insisted the plane be German.
The illustrator explains: “I suggested the Heinkel plane. They wanted this photo-realistic effect, so I designed the thing with the detached bomb coming towards you."
“I worked in airbrush in black and white, which I would then tint,” he adds. “That’s why my work always looked very doomy. To get the lighting right, I got a little Airfix kit of a Heinkel 111, made it up and sprayed it black.” He then photographed the model to get the reflections underneath. “When you work realistically, you’ve got to have a realistic reference.”
The album sleeve made such an impression the band insisted on a remarkable 40ft Heinkel replica to accompany them on stage for their now notorious ‘Bomber’ tour.
“It’s the most famous cover I’ve ever done,”
The album was released on October 27th 1979, reaching number 12 on the UK charts.
To mark the 40th Anniversary, Airfix is pleased to offer a version of its latest Heinkel with the “Bomber” markings included, and with the special Anniversary box lid.
Included are the three original markings for the A07007.
Numbers are limited.
See Xtradecal X72248 for alternative markings and X72036 for swastikas.

Lockheed F-104A/C/G 'Starfighter At War' (2in1)
The F-104 Starfighter was an American jet fighter, designed by the Lockheed Aircraft Company in early 1950s. Radical in concept, it was the first operational interceptor capable of sustained speeds above Mach 2. The F-104 was a single-seat, all-metal mid-wing monoplane powered by a GE J79 turbojet. It had two fuselage-side air intakes, small thin wings with a pronounced anhedral and a T-tail. Its nose undercarriage retracted forward. It mounted one multi-barrel gun in the nose and two Sidewinder missiles at each wingtip.
The Starfighter prototype flew in February 1954 and the first F-104A production aircraft were delivered to the USAF early in 1958. In total, 153 F-104As were produced of which 10 a/c were also supplied to Pakistan. The next single-seat version was the F-104C, configured for tactical strike missions. This model featured a more powerful engine, removable in-flight refuelling probe and could carry bomb and/or rocket pods on underwing and fuselage pylons. Later, F-104Cs were modified to carry another pair of Sidewinders under the fuselage. 77 aircraft were built and delivered in 1958-59.
The F-104G was the most important version, earmarked for production in Europe but was also built by Canadair and Lockheed. It was a multi-role, all-weather fighter possessing a strenghtened structure and enlarged tail surfaces. It was fitted with improved electronics and carried heavier weapons load. In total, some 1,120 F-104Gs were produced. The Starfighter had only a relatively short career with the USAF, but it became the backbone of a number of NATO and Allied air forces, serving all over the world from the 1960s well into the early 2000s.

Lockheed F-104B/C/D/CF 'American Starfighters' (2in1)
The F-104 Starfighter was an American jet fighter, designed by the Lockheed Aircraft Company in early 1950s. Radical in concept, it was the first operational interceptor capable of sustained speeds above Mach 2. Its prototype flew in 1954 and the first series aircraft were delivered four years later.
The F-104C was the second single-seat version and was configured for tactical strike missions. This model featured a more powerful engine, removable in-flight refuelling probe and could carry bomb and/or rocket pods on underwing and fuselage pylons. 77 aircraft were built and delivered in 1958-59.
The CF-104 was a Canadian-built single-seat Starfighter, similar to the F-104G. It was fitted with a locally-built engine and equipment, including a refuelling probe. In total, 200 CF-104s were manufactured and they mainly served with Canadian units in Europe in the period from 1962 to 1986.
For combat training the F-104B dual-control Starfighter was designed. Its cannon was removed, electronics relocated, but provision for underwing and wingtip drop tanks and Sidewinder installation was retained. 26 F-104Bs were delivered in 1957-58. The CF-104D was a two-seat trainer, similar to the TF-104G, built by Lockheed for the RCAF and powered by a Canadian engine. 38 aircraft were built in 1962-64, of which the last 16 were fitted with slightly different equipment and designated CF-104D Mk.2.
The F-104 was an all-metal mid-wing monoplane powered by a J79 turbojet. It had two fuselage-side air intakes, small thin wings with a pronounced anhedral and a T-tail. Its nose undercarriage retracted forward on single-seaters, while that of the two-seat version retracted rearward. The CF-104s and the two-seaters had the fin area increased, compared to that of the C model. The F-104C/CF-104 also mounted one multi-barrel gun in the nose and two Sidewinder missiles at each wingtip.
The Starfighter had only a relatively short career with the USAF, but it became the backbone of a number of NATO and Allied air forces, serving all over the world from the 1960s well into the early 2000s.

Lockheed F-104J/DJ Starfighter 'Eiko In Japan' (2in1)
The F-104 Starfighter was an American jet fighter, designed by the Lockheed Aircraft Company in early 1950s. Radical in concept, it was the first operational interceptor capable of sustained speeds above Mach 2. Its prototype flew in 1954 and the first series aircraft were delivered four years later. The first single-seater Starfighters were designated F-104A/CF-104, C and R/TF-104G, while the trainers were called F-104B, D/CF-104D, F and TF-104G.
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force took delivery of a total of 210 all-weather interceptor Starfighters designated F-104J. Similar to the F-104G, 3 a/c were Lockheed-built, while the rest was supplied by Mitsubishi; production was underway in the period 1962-67. Twenty F-104DJ two-seat trainers, similar to the F-104Ds, were provided by Lockheed and assembled in Japan during 1962-64.
The F-104 was an all-metal mid-wing monoplane powered by a J79 turbojet (locally-built units were fitted to Japanese a/c). It had two fuselage-side air intakes, small thin wings with a pronounced anhedral and a T-tail. Its nose undercarriage retracted forward on single-seaters, while that of the two-seat version retracted rearward. The F-104J/DJ had the fin area increased, compared to that of the A or C model. The single-seater mounted one multi-barrel gun in the nose and two Sidewinder missiles at each wingtip and/or below the fuselage. Drop tanks could also be carried.
The Japanese F-104s entered service in 1966 and the last one was retired in the spring of 1986. Beginning in 1988, 14 a/c were converted to the UF-104J/JA remotely-controlled drones for aerial target practice. Some 27 F-104J/DJs were also supplied to Taiwan to serve with the RoCAF.

Lockheed F-104G Starfighter 'In Europe' (2in1)
The F-104 Starfighter was an American jet fighter, designed by the Lockheed Aircraft Company in early 1950s. Radical in concept, it was the first operational interceptor capable of sustained speeds above Mach 2. Its prototype flew in 1954 and the first series aircraft were delivered four years later.
The F-104 was a single-seat, all-metal mid-wing monoplane powered by a GE J79 turbojet. It had two fuselage-side air intakes, small thin wings with a pronounced anhedral and a T-tail. Its nose undercarriage retracted forward. It mounted one multi-barrel gun in the nose, two Sidewinder missiles at each wingtip and optionally also another pair of AAMs beneath the fuselage or wings.
The F-104G was the most important version, based on the previous C model, modified to serve as a multi-role, all-weather fighter. It possessed a strenghtened structure and enlarged tail surfaces. It was fitted with improved electronics and carried heavier weapons load. This Starfighter version was earmarked for production in Europe, where substantial numbers were built by Fiat, Fokker, Messerschmitt/MBB and SABCA for local air forces, but this variant was also built by Canadair and Lockheed. In total, some 1,120 F-104Gs were built. Concurrently, a gunless reconnaissance version, the RF-104G, was produced, but in service a number were modified to G model’s fully armed standard.
West Germany’s two air arms, the Luftwaffe and the Marineflieger, operated a total of 749 F/RF-104Gs between 1961 and 1991. Italian Air Force received 125 F/RF-104Gs and used them from early 1960s until 1993. The Netherlands took delivery of 120 Fokker and Fiat-built F/RF-104Gs and flew them in the period 1962-84. Spanish Air Force utilised 18 F-104G Starfighters between 1965 and 1972.

Lockheed F-104B/D/F/TF Starfighter 'Mach 2 Trainer' (2in1)
The F-104 Starfighter was an American jet fighter, designed by the Lockheed Aircraft Company in early 1950s. Radical in concept, it was the first operational interceptor capable of sustained speeds above Mach 2. Its prototype flew in 1954 and the first series aircraft were delivered four years later.
The first two-seat trainer was the F-104B, which was designed for the USAF and flown in 1957. The next two-seater was the F-104D, based on the single-seat tactical strike F-104C. In 1959, a two-seat F-104F was developed from the D model for training and produced by Lockheed for West Germany. Thirty aircraft of this type were produced in 1959-60. The CF-104D was a Lockheed-built two-seater (similar to the TF-104G), ordered by the RCAF. 16 of 38 ‘CF’ trainers poduced were fitted with slightly different equipment and designated CF-104D Mk.2. In 1971-73, seven former Canadian CF-104Ds were transferred to Denmark after having brought up to TF-104G standard. The TF-104G was a two-seat combat trainer, of which 220 were produced by Lockheed in 1962-66. Four TF-104Gs were supplied to Norwegian Air Force in 1963 and they were phased out of service early in the 1980s. Turkey utilised a total of 54 TF-104Gs, of which 36 were former German aircraft, supplied in the 1980s. This type was retired from Turkish service in the early 1990s.
The F-104F/D/TF-104G was a two-seat, all-metal mid-wing monoplane powered by a J79 turbojet. It had two fuselage-side air intakes, small thin wings with a pronounced anhedral and a T-tail. The fin had an increased area and its nose undercarriage retracted rearward. It was disposed of the nose-mounted multi-barrel gun, but some could carry two Sidewinder missiles at each wingtip.
Early Starfighter two-seaters were primarily used for pilot training, while the dedicated TF-104Gs were also combat-capable. Alongside the single-seat F-104s they served with all NATO and Allied air forces all over the world from the late 1950s well into the early 2000s.

BAe Harrier GR.1A/AV-8A/C 'First Generation'
The Hawker Siddeley Harrier “Jump Jetˮ is a British V/STOL aeroplane developed in the 1960s. The initial version, the Harrier GR.1, was based on the pre-production P.1127 (RAF) fighter, of which a batch of 60 was ordered for the RAF in 1967. A similar model – designated Mk.50, with simplified navigational/attack system, was exported to the United States as the AV-8A, for use by the Marine Corps and a total of 102 aircraft were delivered during the early 1970s. Some 60 aircraft were upgraded as the AV-8Cs by mid 1980s.
The Harrier GR.1/AV-8 was a single-seat fixed-wing all-metal monoplane powered by a R-R Pegasus turbojet (US designation F402), used for ground-attack, close air support, reconnaissance and fighter roles. It was fitted with two air intakes and four vectoring nozzles for directing the thrust generated by the engine. It had a tandem undercarriage and two outrigger landing gear units. External store hard points were installed for carrying a variety of weapons and external fuel tanks: two under each wing and one under the fuselage, while two Aden cannon gun pods could also be fitted beneath the fuselage.
The Harrier was a very innovative aeroplane and the only truly successful V/STOL design of the many that arose during that period of time and it became the versatile warrior of the RAF.
The Harrier GR.1 is also known to have won the Daily Mail Transatlantic Air Race between London and New York in May 1969, commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the first transatlantic crossing.

BAe Harrier GR.1/VA.1 Matador The Hawker Siddeley Harrier “Jump Jetˮ is a British V/STOL aeroplane developed in the 1960s. The initial version, the Harrier GR.1, was based on the P.1127 (RAF) fighter and the first aircraft of a total of sixty for the RAF were delivered in the spring of 1969. The GR.1A was an upgraded version of the GR.1 having an uprated powerplant. 58 a/c of this model existed, of which 17 were new built and 41 modified from the GR.1. During the type’s service the RAF operated the Harrier fleet in West Germany as a deterrent against Warsaw Pact threat.
AV-8S was an export version of the AV-8A Harrier for the Spanish Navy. They were delivered in two batches of five (as the Harrier Mk.53 and Mk.55) in 1976 and 1980, respectively, and locally designated VA.1 Matador. They were retired in 1996 and sold to Thailand. The Royal Thai Navy acquired seven single-seat Harriers in 1998, but following problems keeping them operational they were stored and finally withdrawn in 2006.
The Harrier was a single-seat fixed-wing all-metal monoplane powered by a R-R Pegasus turbojet, used for ground-attack, close air support, reconnaissance and fighter roles. It was fitted with two air intakes and four vectoring nozzles for directing the thrust generated by the engine. It had a tandem undercarriage and two outrigger landing gear units. External store hard points were installed for carrying a variety of weapons and external fuel tanks: two under each wing and one under the fuselage, while two Aden cannon gun pods could also be fitted beneath the fuselage.

BAe Harrier GR.3 'Laser Nose' The Hawker Siddeley Harrier “Jump Jetˮ is a British V/STOL aeroplane developed in the 1960s. The initial version was the Harrier GR.1, based on the P.1127 (RAF) fighter, and its upgraded variant was the GR.1A. Another upgrade implementing more powerful and reliable engine resulted in the GR.3 model, at first externally similar to previous GR.1/1As. Beginning from the spring of 1976 upgraded avionics were fitted to GR.3s comprising the laser range finder in a lengthened nose cone and tail warning devices housed in the fin and tail cone. A total of 40 Harriers GR Mk.3s were built anew, with last delivered in late 1986, and about 62 were converted from the existing GR.1/GR.1As.
The Harrier was a single-seat fixed-wing all-metal monoplane powered by a R-R Pegasus turbojet, used for ground-attack, close air support, reconnaissance and fighter roles. It was fitted with two air intakes and four vectoring nozzles for directing the thrust generated by the engine. It had a tandem undercarriage and two outrigger landing gear units. External store hard points were installed for carrying a variety of weapons and external fuel tanks: two under each wing and one under the fuselage, while two Aden cannon gun pods could also be fitted beneath the fuselage.
During the type’s service the RAF operated the bulk of the Harrier fleet in West Germany as a defence against Warsaw Pact threat, but the Harriers were also deployed to air bases in Norway and in the former British colony of Belize. In 1982, Harrier GR.3s took part in the Falklands War, a 10-week hostilities between Argentina and the United Kingdom.

In the 1982 Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom, ten Harrier GR.3s of No.1 Sq. operated from the aircraft carrier HMS Hermes.

Hannover Cl.II (Early) The highly distinctive Hannover Cl.II (cee-el-too) was an excellent low level two-seat escort fighter and ground attack aircraft. Powered by a 180hp Argus As.III engine, the Hannover “battle plane” was well liked when it entered service in the middle of 1917; it was strong, fast, light weight and in certain circumstances could outmanoeuvre enemy single seat fighters. The high position of the crew in the distinctive fuselage gave them an excellent field of vision unobstructed by the top wing, and the innovative biplane tailplane increased the observer’s field of fire rearwards. Depending on mission requirements the Hannover Cl.II could carry various models of camera and wireless equipment as well as small bombs. The Hannover Cl.II served until the end of WW1 and post war with Polish and Latvian forces.
-261 high quality injection moulded plastic parts.
-16 photo-etched metal detail parts.
-Highly detailed 23 part Argus As.III engine.
-Optional propellers, radio, cameras, radiators, ailerons, small bombs and diorama accessories.
-28 page fully illustrated instruction manual.

Hannover Cl.II Albatros Productions have just published the eighth title in their acclaimed Modelling Special series. For all those serious enthusiasts seeking to get the very best from this excellent kit, WWI aero-historian and author Ray Rimell brings over 60 years of modelling experience to present a truly comprehensive guide for creating a perfect miniature in 54 colourful and inspiring pages.
Profusely illustrated with over 190 images, his unique monograph carries an extensive build- log of WNW's Hannover kit with extended coverage on painting and decal application helping modellers to achieve a realistic and convincing finish. Each stage of the assembly is discussed in meticulous step-by-step detail with supportive archive photos and contemporary sketches along the way.
Every key aspect is featured, from super-detailing cockpits, Argus engine, armament and observer's gun ring, to specialized treatment of 'lozenge' fabric covering and creating masks for the complex fuselage camouflage pattern. In addition there are nine new colour profiles from Ronny Bar including a multi-view centre-spread, along with a 12 page gallery of rare wartime images, most previously unpublished and reproduced to large area format highlighting the smallest of details.
For modellers looking to convert the kit to Cl.III or Cl.IIIa variants, the book covers that too with 1:32 scale fuselage drawings of both aircraft. With comprehensive after -market accessory and decals listings, plus a jargon-buster and an extensive bibliography, the latest Special is a goldmine of modelling lore and full-size data for these famous German WWI two-seaters. Whilst the focus of attention is naturally on the WNW kit, this high-quality publication will also prove equally invaluable for those building model Hannovers to any scale.
